I've been far too positive lately. So in that spirit I've decided to make a list of games I hate. Games that in my mind completely and utterly suck. Now to clarify I'm not going to list games that were never meant to be anything other than functional at best. I'm here to talk about games that were meant to be good. And some people do think they're good (they're wrong). Maybe you're one of these people (and once again I want to emphasize you're wrong). But this is my list so fuck off.
So for the month of February I'm going to give you my list. One new game a day. Look forward to it and feel the hate flowing within you. And here it is in no particular order:
- Faxanadu
- Castlevania: Lords of Shadow
- Tao's Adventure: Curse of the Demon Seal
- Pac-Man (Atari 2600)
- Dr. Franken
- Torin's Passage
- Blues Brothers (SNES)
- Limbo
- X-Men (Sega Genesis)
- Harvest Moon: My Little Shop
- Child of Eden
- Herdy Gerdy
- Final Fantasy X
- Actraiser 2
- SaGa Frontier 2
- Children of Mana
- Assassin's Creed
- Burger Time: World Tour
- The Acceleration of Suguri X

- Impossible Mission (Atari 7800)
- The Sims

Braid is fantastic, what is wrong with you people.
Robio did you get to the part in xmen where you had to reset the system to move on.
I did. The first time I got to it I didn't know what to do, but like I going to press the reset button. I don't give a shit if Professor X was telling me to do it, YOU DO NOT PRESS THE RESET BUTTON WHILE PLAYING A GAME!!! And then course the time limit reset and it was game over. I actually got up to the final battle with Magneto, but I was never able to beat him.
12. Herdy Gerdy
This game represents one or the few times the wife took an interest in my gaming habits. She saw that this game was about herding animals, and thats like Harvest Moon so this game might be up my alley. Sound logic. Unfortunately it wasn't the case. It may probably be unfair for me to say this game is bad because I haven't played it much. You see the fucking load times in this game are horrendous. I'm actually still trying get the third level to load. Its been 10 years, but the progress bar is still moving so perhaps when it finally loads I'll be able to play it and maybe change my opinion.
I liked Herdy Gerdy, but it certainly deserves its spot on this list for the loading times.
13. Final Fantasy X.
This was the game that killed my interest in Final Fantasy. The entire cast is made up of RPG cliches except for Wakka who is pretty much the worst character in the history of gaming. The completely linear nature of the game was a slap in the face for people who enjoyed exploring. And Blitz Ball was a shitty mini game. I got 2 hours from the ending when I realized I was miserable, and never touched a future installment other series from that moment forward.
Oh the humanity!
I liked ffx but it's one of the crappier ones.
FF1 and X are the only FF's that I bothered to complete. That alone makes it a fond memory for me.
While FFX is awesome, you chose the perfect time to stop playing FF games, so it's a good thing you hated it so much.
I am a fan of FF10, but that is indeed when they started changing things for the worse. However, its still a great game IMO. I really liked most of the characters...even Tidus I thought it was cool that he was at least different with his upbeat personality instead of the usual FF downtrodden guy. The battle system wasn't the best (I still prefer the materia system from FF7....it added strategy and it was just fun) but it wasn't bad either.
The only thing I hated about it was that they removed the overworld exploration map. To me, that was ass backwards. You have this system that's a trillion times the power of PS1, and you choose to cut out the overworld instead of expanding it? When I first thought about FF on the PS2 era consoles, that was the first thing I thought of...how awesome the overworld will now be.
